Still convinced you have some of the cleanest and most educational Minecraft content on Youtube!

What if i want the people in my city to get hit by bikes while they are walking?

[tyhuey]

Love how much humor and how much info is packed into these vids

[mamboflux]

Brilliant I've just started my first city and a can't believe I already had a few of these ideas all my by myself🤣 but a whole load more I didn't think of! Thanks!!!

I think the most important one to make it full of life is adding trees. It's like magic, it feels awesome, adding trees will change everything.

I just want you to know just how much this channel inspires me. As someone who's not that good at building in Minecraft and only can play Minecraft on PE, this channel has given me that extra boost I need to move closer to my dream of building a city in Minecraft. Also, you don't have to but can you make a video on how you don't get overwhelmed with all the ideas and such? Thank you and keep up the good job!

If you want to be really realistic, gradually remove all the bikelanes while telling your citizens that you'll make the city more acessible by bike.

Alpine can you do a video on how to build diagonally. Apartments are roads. How to get into the diagonal headspace. It would help a ton!

Can you do a video on how not to get overwhelmed when building and how to find inspiration for builds, it would help a ton.

Hey Matt, your vids appeared in my recommended one day and i cant stop watching them. So pretty, so inspirational and informative. However, i noticed you use a resource pack most of the time, and i'd be interested in how this build project would look in vanilla mc

Great video as always ! Love the occasional cinematic scenes that show you walk around Andea !

[antgarce]

It's cool to see Ottawa/Gatineau in this video, been there before and recognized the waterfront spot with the boats!

[davidoliver]

Vertical slabs sideways stairs and combinable slabs would really help add additional details to any city. Ancient old and modern. Even futuristic.

I had a pretty huge city I worked on for many months, but the files were accidentally deleted when I did a hard reset on my PC. But now I realize how much more I could've done for realism, like elevation changes. Thanks for inspiring me to start again!

Just found this channel through recommendations; this is a great channel! Incorporating Minecraft and architecture, your videos are both enjoyable and educational. Thank you for making these helpful videos!

[jamesfuller]

Great video, your city looks absolutely stunning, great job.

My biggest tip for people starting a minecraft city aside from elevation changes like you mentioned would be including lots of curves and irregularities in your road network.

Obviously plan your road network well so that it suits your cityscape, but stay away from a flat 1 plane layout with roads all laid out in grids, thats how 90% of people starting out make their cities and it doesnt have much character.

Have bends, overpasses, tunnels, cul-de-sac's etc. Asymmetric road networks are more interesting and realistic in my opinion :)

WOOOOW! According to the likes of this video at now (06/30/2021), it has an acceptance of "99.9974%", I have never seen something like this. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[Meeyuh]

I adore this channel so much. Every video inspires me to build more and build cooler stuff with all the things I learn in them. Keep up the great work! <3
